A sculpted serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and a distinctly calligraphic feel. Strokes swell toward the ends rather than finishing in flat slabs, creating soft triangular serifs and tapered joins. The capitals are broad-shouldered and steady, with rounded curves and crisp interior counters, while the lowercase shows pronounced modulation in curves (notably in bowls and the ear/shoulder shapes) and a slightly compact, sturdy rhythm. Numerals follow the same carved, flared logic, with smooth curves and decisive terminals that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine or book titling, and cover work where a classic serif voice is desired. The distinctive flared terminals also make it a strong candidate for branding, packaging, and heritage-leaning identities that benefit from a crafted, traditional impression.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking book typography, heritage signage, and classic print. Its flared endings add a handcrafted, slightly ceremonial character, making the texture feel warm and historic rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to merge old-style serif familiarity with a more carved, flared terminal treatment, delivering a confident reading texture while keeping enough personality for display use. It prioritizes a classic, print-rooted voice with expressive stroke endings that differentiate it from more neutral serifs.
The face reads confidently at display sizes, where the wedge terminals and sculpted curves become a defining feature. At text sizes it maintains a cohesive, classic color, with distinctive shapes (especially in capitals and the more calligraphic lowercase forms) that add personality to headlines and short passages.
